God comes to life in us and through us
in ways and in places 
where it might be said that
we are "One with the Tao of life and being."

One with the Tao
and one with God 
are the same thing.

Alive to the time and place of our living.
In tune with what's what and what need to be done
in response, 
when, where, and how it needs to be done.
God and the Tao dance together through us
in the here and now of our living.

Jesus got it.
Adam and Eve didn't.

This story has nothing to do with sin
and redemption.
With being lost and found.
And it has everything to do with
our being alive to the time and place of our living.

Alert to and aware of what's what,
and what's happening here, now,
and what's called for,
and doing it with the gifts that are ours
to serve and to share--
our original nature,
our innate virtues (The things we do best
and enjoy doing most),
our inherent imagination,
our intrinsic intuition,
our psychic powers connecting us
to the entire Cosmos.

We are who Jesus was.
And bring God to life through the way 
we live our life 
every day.

Or not.
Why not?
